Shacknews is reporting a new adventure game from Tim Schafer, Ron Gilbert, and the rest of the Double Fine Productions gang is on its way, having hit its funding goal of $400,000 only eight hours after launching a crowd-funding plan. What's more, Double Fine is now having "a lovely chat" with Minecraft creator Markus 'Notch' Persson about his offer to fund a Psychonauts sequel.

"If I were to go to a publisher right now and pitch an adventure game, they'd laugh in my face," Schafer said in a video for the KickStarter project. So Double Fine turned to its fans, seeking $300,000 to fund a new adventure game and $100,000 for video game documentary team 2 Player Productions to record its progress. The project launched at 6pm Pacific on Wednesday, and reached the $400,000 mark a touch over eight hours later.

Who knows if this will set a trend or not. One can only hope financial endeavors like this will reboot long forgotten licenses. Marathon anyone?

Bit of a misleading title as Notch hasn't agreed to fund a sequel to psychonaughts - he has offered to and they are in discussions with him. Tim Schafer has said that agreeing on funding for psychonaughts 2 will take a while to approve as there is a lot of terms and other things that would need covering.

Ya know you are right. I just felt since he offered then he would follow through. I adjusted the title until confirmed.
